Description
These Butterfinger Caramel Cheesecake Bars are a rich, no-bake dessert with a buttery graham cracker crust, silky caramel cream cheese filling, and a crunchy Butterfinger topping. Each bite is smooth, sweet, and perfectly indulgent.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
4 Butterfinger candy bars, crushed
Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, caramel sauce, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, keeping the texture light and airy.
- Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger candy bars evenly over the filling and press them in slightly. Drizzle additional caramel sauce on top if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm.
- Slice into bars, garnish with whipped cream if desired, and serve chilled.
